Variables

Within the templates files, apart from our standard html, we also have access to any variables defined within the .yml file that corresponds to the current page. These can be accessed by using page. followed by the key.

ie. page.title

In addition, any variables defined in /content/_shared.yml are available within all template files.

Stacey-created variables

These are created for each page within the site.

page.root_path
Will output a relative path from the current page to the root of the site.
ie. in /projects/project-name/_page.root_path will contain _../../.
page.thumb
Outputs the relative url to the thumbnail for this page (if one exists).
page.url
Outputs the relative path to this page from the page currently being viewed (ie. ../../projects/project-1).
page.permalink
Outputs the absolute url path of the current page (ie. projects/project-1).
page.slug
Outputs the slug of the current page (ie. project-1).
page.is_current
Returns true if page.permalink matches the server’s request uri.
page.is_first
Returns true if current page is the first in its collection.
page.is_last
Returns true if current page is the last in its collection.
